Quotes About Atomic

The city waits for thunder's echo, for a wall of heat that burns Lahore with the energy of a thousand summers, a million partitions, a billion atomic souls split in half.

It was a summer of great rumblings in the belly of the earth, of atomic flatulence and geopolitical indigestion, consequences of the consumption of sectarian chickpeas by our famished and increasingly incontinent subcontinent. Clenched beneath the tightened sphincters of test sites and silos, the pressure of superheated gases was registering in spasms on the Richter scale. Lahore was uneasy, and Immodium in short supply.

Richard Rhodes's exceptionally readable The Making of the Atomic Bomb is the place to start. This sweeping chronicle of the difficult and sobering history of the endeavor called the Manhattan Project is marked by Rhodes's insightful studies of the complicated people who were most involved in the creation of the bomb, from Niels Bohr to Robert Oppenheimer. Rhodes followed this book with Dark Sun: The Making of the Hydrogen Bomb.

Lumea asta nu va muri de o bomb? atomic?, aÅŸa cum spun ziarele, ci va muri de râs, de banalitate, f?când o glum? din tot ÅŸi din toate ÅŸi, în plus, o glum? proast?.

Este mundo no se morirá de una bomba atómica como dicen los diarios, se morirá de risa, de banalidad, haciendo un chiste de todo, y además un chiste malo." ? Carlos Ruiz Zafón, The Shadow of the Wind

Ovaj svijet ne?e uništiti atomska bomba, kao što kažu novine, nego ?e umrijeti od smijeha, od banalnosti, od ismijavanja svega, i zato što ?e od svega praviti vic, i to loš vic.

Father Roger Boscovich is often credited as the father of modern atomic theory.

With laissez-faire and price atomic, Ecology's Uneconomic, But with another kind of logic Economy's Unecologic.

Essentially they were those who had not adapted themselves to what had once been called the Atomic Age, in the days when atoms were a novelty. Actually, they were the Simple-Lifers, hungering after a life, which to those who had lived it had probably appeared not so Simple, and who had been, therefore, Simple-Lifers themselves.

The molecules of air caught in the sudden surge of atomic disruption, tore into glowing, burning ions, and marked out the blinding thin line that struck at Mallow's heart—and splashed!

They are all insane: the Communists, the Fascists, the preachers of democracy, the writers, the painters, the clergy, the atheists. Soon technology, too, will disintegrate. Buildings will collapse, power plants will stop generating electricity. Generals will drop atomic bombs on their own populations. Mad revolutionaries will run in the streets, crying fantastic slogans. I have often thought that it would begin in New York. This metropolis has all the symptoms of a mind gone berserk.

Goodwill... is an immeasurable and tremendous energy, the atomic energy of the spirit.

The release of atomic energy has not created a new problem. It has merely made more urgent the necessity of solving an existing one.

Some think the worst horrors of war might be avoided by an international agreement not to use atomic bombs. This is a vain hope.

Dropping those atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki was a war crime.

The conservation of energy in the atomic model found its final treatment in the hands of Hermann von Helmholtz (1821–94), who, like Mayer, started from physiological considerations, and about whom we spoke in detail in the previous chapter. In his fundamental work of 1847 [18] he explicitly introduced the concept of potential energy.

order to these baffling aspects of behavior in the atomic world, and to build from it a coherent theory. In 1925

The probability of finding an electron or any other particle at one point or another can be imagined as a diffuse cloud, denser where the probability of seeing the particle is stronger. Sometimes it is useful to visualize this cloud as if it were a real thing. For instance, the cloud that represents an electron around its nucleus indicates where it is more likely that the electron appears if we look at it. If you have encountered them at school, these are the atomic orbitals.
